Consois • Yesterday several Letters were received fronxthe Continent, which tend very strongly to confirm-the reports which-have lately reached us, of 13,UONA PARTE'S intention of assuming a higher and snore comprehensive title than that which he has already, usurped, and also of effeding some important changes in the North. of Europe. Louts BtIONA PARTE., we have . no' doubt, will be removed :from Holland, where hit, by his ' Mildness, in a gteat degree conciliated, the good will of the peOPle; and some other of the BUoNAEARTE Tribe will be appointed to rifle over the once "haughty and indepetidant Dutch. Or perhaps - it May' . be in contemplation toh :annex Holland to France. Lours has been ordered to repair' to Paris, to 'meet the other vassal Kings, and to learn his fu ture destiny:, The King of Bavaria has received a similar summons, and, according to letters received yesterday, has adtrally art ived . at' Paris. With re gard to the intended change in PUONAPARTE'S title, there' are various reports in circulation :—Acoording to some, he means merely to add the 'title of Empe r,4- of . Germany to that of Emperor of France ; while others say that he means to assume a much more• comprehensive title, viz. " Autocrat of the West." :The following letter from Bremen shews,. that 131JONAPARTi never for a moment loses sight of his favourite objed of injuring, as far as he can, the commerce of this 'country : " BILEMEisT, Nov. t7.—Vienna is litely.to be speedily freed from her enemies, for eneniics, notwithstanding the peace, we must still call thernl‘ 7 There are not now more than '20,0e0 French soldiers there.; a division of which is to take its departure on the zith instant, and another about the joth, so that by the beginning of next month we, may reckon that there will be no French troops in the city. • " The greatest part of those who have left the neighbour hood of Vienna have' proceedec) to France; and the avowed, obje& is to re-enter Spain and force it to submission : but the ft anse Towns are to have each' of thein a garlison which is .to put a stop to all trade by the most rigorous measures. We in this shall suffer severely. The garrison at Hap.burgh is, meant to consist,of above 3,0e0, and other plopor, tion. A full stop will in this case be put inevite:,ly to cops:. merce. 'The Sovereigns of the greater part of the territory of Germany have gone to Paris." whom they could rely, they appeared to be little disposed to forward the measure of convening the Cortes. Incensed at this treacherous-vacillation, the Duke it is said, reproached theM in the bitterest terms, and at length renewed their apprehensions to such a degree, that in order to prevent the excesses of popular fury, they agreed to the measures de manded. The'_ePeClation therefore, of seeing the Cortes 'efteCtually assembled, had produced a tem porary calmovhi-ch is likely to proinote the most be neficial consequences, if the Junta should appear to be hereafter. animated by a regard - to . their country,. i and not a mere thirst for power. • I . , An account has been received of the capture of the Europe and Streatham, early in the month of JUne last by,the French frigateparo/ine, which ships, with the Ocean, ,exta Ship, sailed from 'Bengal (it is said) the .2gth of April. • The Ocean escaped, and proceeded. to Prince of Wales's. Ishind with . the intelligence. .• It is added, that the Caroline, with both her prizes, bad been driven on shore at the Island of Bourbon by thit British blockading squadron off the Isle of France. The Asia waslost iri Bdhgal River. The Lord CastlereaEli, it is said, had arrived at Be n coolen . The .heptune, True Briton, Cumberland, 'and Scaleby Castle, arrived at Bombay, the 25th June , ail well . . - . _ _ The !Parley arrived in the Downs the 7th inst. The Lord Melville, Perseverance, Lord Duncan, Carnatic, Aottinghin, and Baring, arrived at Ma dras on the 3d and sth of July last. We have:received the Royal Gazette of Amster dam, by which we have some information oti the progress of affairs on the Continent. Under the date 01Burgos, Nov. 6, it is acknowledged, that a Spay nish army of horn thirty to thirty-41%re thousand men had arrived in .the netghbourhood of Sallimanca, where they engaged and surrounded the sixth bat talion of the French; but it is added, that a body of troops afterwards advanced under the command of General: KELLERIM AN, who.being joined by General DESSOLLES, with the division of reserve, Salamanca was retaken. 'We helieve that this allegation is wholly unfounded. In an-article troth Frankfurt, of Nov. 15th, it is mentioned, on 'the authority of letters from Molda-' via, that the Russians had .gained a decisive - viaory between Silistria . and Adrianople; and that in COllSC (pence of this event they had advanced southward. The crisis of the Oitotnatrpower seems to be ra pidly. approaching. Silistria is seated near the con dueller.: of the River Missovo and ,the Danube. It is about 170 miles north-eaSt of Adrianople, and the latter is only 115 from the Turkish capital. By accounts from dated, the 14th ult. we learn that the Prince Vicero y had arrived at that city from his head-qu irters at Viliach, From the. Lake of Haarlem, 27th ()fate same month, it is said, that the Pru4siah Colonel Von KttusEmmtK, who brought ~ . . We have before mentioned the unfortunate eivi_ he.' ' Dispatches wite the intelligence of the accoue ment of the Queen of Prussia, has been honoured by sions which, according to the accou et from Seville, an audience of the . limperorNeroeener,•which con have taken place between the Supreme junta and tinned during twohours. His Majesty received him ' the people of that plaCe, as well as 'the arrest of some most- politely, and presented him with a ring of great value. the -Emperor was .extremely cheerful, and persons to whom the Spanish Nation looked with i nt h e i i ie , h es , hea l t h . respea .and confidence. Other accounts have ar- 1 . We have been favoured With a letter from one of rived, which tend to confirm the reports of th ese the most important of the Spanish settlements on the Continent of America. 11 is dated • from Vera unhappy divisions, at a tune when the most psi-left Care on the i sth Ahgust, and it states,. that a eon harmony should prevail, in order to secure the trariety of opinion has arisen between the merchants country against a formidable Invader. The .be st . All the trading interest appears to be in favour of continuing the commerce on the and the populace intelligence from. .Spain states, that a conspiracy lied , footing it has lately acquired, either by the direa it been farmed against the Junta, and that was the , petiression of the public Authorities, or by the re intention of the 'Co nspitators .: to seize that body, laxatien'of the Prohibitory-Laws. The natives, in general, are advocates for the exclusion of all foreign when they were sitting •in Council; to sacrifice - connection, and for the maintenance'ef the inter some' of the members 'on the spot, and to send i course with Europe through the meditim of the Pa others - to South America. The ' agents ;of this . rent Stare and her Colonies.% In this purpose the People are sepported by the Government resident at daring enterprize were . then to declare a . Regency' '. See tile. It is added,that the Officers at this dependency to invest with supreme authority the venerable Car- of the Spanish Crown are very much under the con- dinal BOURBON, the 'Duke DEL INFANTADO, the i troul.of the lower orders, and, that they .would be Marquis DC ROMANI; and two other popular cha- ! ex p osed to serious dan g er in case 'of bribery or mal i versation, which would be promptly discovered and raters.
